Here is an extract from the release notes: -------------------------------------------- *** Note *** The probability of experiencing the delta-time limit on earlier versions of OpenVMS is significantly reduced because OpenVMS DECthreads (both pthread and CMA interfaces) and the OpenVMS SECURITY Server do not exist in versions of OpenVMS prior to V5.5. DIGITAL has created delta-time ECOs for OpenVMS Versions 5.0 - 5.4-3 for those customers possibly affected by the delta-time limit or in the rare situation where a third-party or customer application does not adhere to the delta-time limit. ... System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Installation Rating: 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. -------------------------------------- From the comments it appears we can expect ECOs for V5.1 and V5.0 as well (but not for the customer who called me yesterday asking about V4.1 ;-) John Gillings, Sydney CSC
